The rationale behind the calendar’s nudity theme is to project the imagery of openness, joy, and freedom within the freethought community, in distinct contrast to cultures that objectify and repress. Bridget Gaudette, Vice President of Outreach, explained, “We’ve commissioned photos of a transgender woman, a pregnant woman, a breastfeeding mother, a Native American senior couple, a gay couple … Secular Woman hopes to portray the narrative that this is the freethinking community: multifaceted, proud and beautiful.” The calendar will also feature entertainers, a philanthropist, and a renowned author.

I love it! And half of all of the proceeds are going to Foundation Beyond Belief‘s Light the Night fund, making this both titillating and charitable!

I think any opportunity to show off people’s beautiful, natural bodies is great, and Secular Woman is a great voice for… well secular women!
